Default Telephone cable stolen again

In November I posted about the telephone cable to our village being stolen
Last Friday night same thing again


Yep at 01:40 according to my router monitoring

This time barely 50 metres of cable or so it seems from within the
village outside of a row of houses


I went out early on Saturday morning and I did see the BT vans opposite
Griffs, but couldn't really see anyone stealing cable from there

Although Andy Burns may have more/different info


At the bottom of the hill, round the bed before Crow Mills I noticed the
manhole had been pulled out of the ground, I saw them running a new
cable in on Sunday night, but I wasn't reconnected until last night

My broadband speed has more than halved from 2.6Mb to 1.1Mb!


You are ringing bells now - You're in Countesthorpe.
Yes, BT vans arrived around 10.30am on Sunday, and have been there all
week.
Has the cable been stolen then?
It seems strange that they have done it there, it isnt a road that is
quiet at many times.
Also, there were 2 cars in the ditch on Sunday, just where the manhole
is - maybe they had something to do with it?
